Litigation Data - Public Data Scrapers
Litigation data is a critical part of the due diligence process, providing valuable insights into an entity's legal standing and potential risk. Our Public Data Scrapers employ Python scripts and spiders to access and collect this data from various judicial sources, making sure that we capture detailed and comprehensive litigation data associated with the target entity.
Categories of Litigation Data
Our litigation data collection focuses on the following key areas:
Court Websites
Court websites are a major source of litigation data. They provide critical information about the legal history of a company or individual, including past and ongoing lawsuits. Our system employs multiple spiders specifically developed to extract data from various high court websites like Bombay, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, and the Supreme Court, among others. These spiders are capable of effectively navigating the complex structures of these websites to extract the required litigation data.
Tribunal Websites
Besides the court data, another significant part of the litigation data comes from tribunal websites. Our system includes spiders to crawl websites such as ATFP, CESTAT, DRT, IBBI, ITAT, NCDRC, NCLAT, and NCLT. The data extracted from these sources provide more specific insights into cases related to corporate law, intellectual property rights, tax disputes, and more.
Enhancing Case Details
We understand that the available litigation data from 'e-courts' might sometimes miss out on specific case details or order links. Hence, we have spiders for enhancing case details by crawling through different high court websites and fetching missed order links. These additional details provide a more complete picture of the litigation history.
Technologies Employed
Our Public Data Scrapers utilize Python and Scrapy for developing scripts and spiders. Selenium is also employed in scenarios where dynamic content is present or to simulate human-like interaction with web pages. The combination of these technologies provides a robust toolset to handle any challenges associated with data extraction from judicial websites.
Summary
Collecting comprehensive and accurate litigation data is an essential part of conducting due diligence. Our Public Data Scrapers are designed to extract this data efficiently from various court and tribunal websites, providing valuable legal insights into the target entity. Our data collection is designed to be both broad, covering various types of legal data, and deep, capturing detailed information for each case, which helps in better risk assessment and decision making.
